“And immediately the Spirit driveth him [Jesus] into the wilderness.” (Mk. 1:12)
“[The maniac of Gadara] was driven of the devil into the wilderness.” (Lk. 8:29)
Who, may I ask, is sitting in the driver's seat in your journey of this life? Is it God’s heavenly Spirit or a hellish devil? The results of the first is always constructive, the latter destructive. The former will drive you to victory, the latter to defeat. It’s your choice whom you designate to transport you through life. You can change drivers.
Wilderness experiences are not the same; it all depends on the one behind the wheel. God leads His dear children into and out of wilderness situations. The devil leads into but never out of; he leads one to stay there indefinitely. Israel had their time in the wilderness but God led them out to the land of milk and honey!
Darling David tells us, “He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake,” (Psa. 23:3). This is how you know who is in the driver’s seat.
